Somebody once told me,”You make jewellery for children, not for adults”.
And when I was a student in Tokyo the Japanese students in my class came
up with a new word to describe my work. The word was KimoKawaii and it’s
a combination of two words kawaii (cute) and kimoi (disgusting).
I make jewellery for adults but with a touch of inspiration from my childhood.
When I was a child I played with stuffed animals, slugs and other living animals.
I have always been drawn to both biology and art and in my work I am trying to
combine my interests. Nature is a great source of inspiration but so is Pokemon…
